Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot The first two years is like an upgraded high school review.
Am enjoying being here I like the on campus events that go on every semester. It is a Catholic/ Marianist school, but it is an easy going campus. There are a grip of student resources and people willing to help. Chaminade University is a friendly and open campus. There are small classes and approachable instructors. There are a variety of clubs on campus.
Bang for the buck Wireless campus. The new library is nice. The dormitories are alright. There are some scholarship opportunities.
Tips for prospective students Visit the campus and taste the food. Understand all the fees that have to be paid. Know the requirements needed to graduate.
Do community service and/or volunteer work.
You have a head start if you are an organized person.Great for these types of students ... who appreciates diversity, who wants small size classes, who are sociable in some way, and who does not get easily bored (that is not to say that there is nothing to do).

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot I was a day Undergraduate student studying Criminology during the Spring 2009 semester and the Fall 2009 semester. The professors for my major are all incredible. They are very knowledgeable and more than willing to do what it takes to help you succeed both during and after college.
Did enjoy being here The staff is friendly and the professors are great. The campus is in a excellent location and it's also not too far from University of Hawaii-Manoa or the beach. I didn't like staying in the dorms and that is why I gave it a 3-star rating.
Bang for the buck I think this school is very affordable. There are many scholarship opportunities for all students. Also tuition is approximately $9,150 per semester and you can take anywhere from 12-19 credits. That breaks down to $481-$763 per credit. Also the cafeteria is buffet style and the Courtyard Cafe is affordable as well.
Tips for prospective students -Make sure you fill out your FAFSA report
-Apply for scholarships and grants
-Take advantage of the brand new library
-Get Involved!Great for these types of students - ...who like the benefits of a small school in a big city environment.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot YES! indeed I am learning a whole lot here at Chaminade University, there are a lot of things to take advantage of and no reason for any student not to learn, because Chaminade helps any student in need.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy attending Chaminade University, because not only is it small. But it's just the right size if you want to gain something. Unlike other huge schools you need to fight for attention to obtain any knowledge you want and need.
Bang for the buck Always ask for help, Scholarships and free money are offered. Many workshops to also help every student.
Tips for prospective students Don't procrastinate
Don't Slack
Always take Advantage
Help is everywhereGreat for these types of students Chaminade may be very expensive but all schools are expensive Chaminade University offers a lot of, FREE MONEY it's just a matter of you going out there and looking for it.

Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot I met Dr. Goff, a Forensics Science professor at Chaminade and was very impressed with his knowledge of the field. I was also able to see some of the things which will be covered in the Forensics program and was glad to see how much hands-on learning is available for students.
Will enjoy being here Chaminade is a very small school where everyone seems to know everyone. The two times that I visited the campus made it evident that teachers and students at Chaminade have a very close-knit, family like relationship. Small class sizes allow students and professors to work together on a more personal level. I can tell that I will feel at home at Chaminade University.
Bang for the buck Chaminade is pretty pricey. The campus is pretty nice but the dorms aren't anything amazing. The rooms are very small. The campus is just very small and it seems a little limited..
Tips for prospective students Take a tour if you can! Ask questions! The faculty at Chaminade is very helpful and willing to answer whatever questions you may have.
Great for these types of students Students who are looking for a close-knit community

Academic Rigor Chaminade University does have a tough educational backing, but it you commit yourself the professors are there to assist you through it.
Dorm Life I don't stay in a dorm.
Food and Dining Have not eaten there.
What to do for fun I take online and evening course so I'm not at the actual campus, but I get emails of tons of wonderful activities the school plans for all of their students.
Bang for the buck It is a private university and tuition is a bit higher than UH, but you have great classes and wonderful professors.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Not aware of any.
Great for these types of students This university is great for any student who is determined to make a difference in the world.
Clubs and Activities I belong to the Education Club, it is fun and exciting and filled with wonderful activities.
Campus Safety Again being that I take most of my classes on line I'm not on campus but when I was I do see security all over campus.
